Looks good to me. I believe it's better to start out smaller . A really large garden can overwhelm a beginner.
I have some neighbors that use 4 small plots and rotate the crops every year. It's a lot more fun to hoe a 20' row than a 100'.

Chickenman, it looks good...As you find the items that grow the best, and the things that interest you, you'll increase the size of the garden...just don't get too big.

And it ain't that much fun hoeing either. I find it very theraputic , at least until July.

I've got a great mushroom garden this year, I only planted 4 tomato plants this year, 3 celebrity, and 1 cherry , a couple pepper plants that are in pots, the peppers are growing alot right now and are full of blooms,
I have alot of mushrooms popping up everyday, a couple this morning that would make a portobello look small.
Are the mushrooms hurting anything? Or does it mean the soil is rich?

I would think it would be a sign of good soil . Have any idea what kind they are ? I'm not sure if they're ok in the garden but as long as you're not eating them it should be alright.
The spores probably came in with your mulch.

Are the mushrooms hurting anything? Or does it mean the soil is rich? Generally, it means there is a lot of decaying material...and possibly too much water. No, they shouldn't hurt anything, except, possibly, any small animals that might eat them. I would dig them up and toss them.

Any ideas on how to build some type of branch supports for my peach trees. branches are hanging down almost to the ground! Thanks.

Can you freeze peaches and use them to make jelly and preserves later ? Mine ripened early and I really don't have time right now.
